Doug, Fred, Alex, David etc.

It only took us 3 hours to get the majority of the program running under VFP6. Clunky screens? They sure are. But the entire company has been running this program on UNIX so long that my friend swears they wouldn't recognize a screen that had more than 25 X 80 characters < grin > Most of the code had 1991 dates on the files.

The biggest problem? UNIX has different key codes for PgUp, PgDn etc., so none of the lists worked correctly.

Many thanks for your advice all of you.
